Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc.

It just so happens that I'm well-read enough to know the basic tenents of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and at the core of each of these (and most other) religions is something we call the golden rule, which reads something like this: Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You. Personally, I subscribe to the golden rule, the "do what you will but harm none" and the "threefold law" which states that whatever you do to someone else will come back to you threefold. I know that one way or another it does always come back. But I digress....

Being raised a "Christian" I find it very difficult to deal with what is today being passed off as Christianity. Whatever happened to WWJD (What would Jesus do)? So, in response to this new, fanatical, maniacal, and militant variety of "Christianity" I have some opinions to share:

1. Jesus would not fight in a war.
2. Jesus would not support starting or carrying on a war.
3. Jesus would not create "Hell Houses" or "Judgement Houses" to try and scare children to death by telling them the many ways they can go to Hell!
4. Jesus WOULD work for peace around the world.
5. Jesus WOULD feed the poor and hungry and would NOT support those who are trying to line the pockets (money-changers) of the rich.
6. Jesus would not be a Republican today because of the horrible actions the Republican party has taken in the past few years.
7. Hey, and Jesus would NOT be a GWB supporter.
8. Jesus would not plan out his sins on Monday knowing he could "repent" on Tuesday.
9. Jesus would know that intentions do matter.
10. Jesus would NOT support the death penalty. Period.

I'm sure my list will grow, but the many, many hypocrites I know who call themselves Christian's are really getting to me (can you tell?). May I suggest that anyone who wants to see the true vision of Christianity check out http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm

Remember this...... I can call myself a tiger over and over and over again, but in the end I am still a woman. Don't take on a label you can't handle!
